They tried the $1900 addon crap with me too.  I ended up giving them $250 which was more than I wanted to for wheel locks, a bit of clear film on door edges and behind door handles, paint and fabric protectant (sure....) and some kinda gps vehicle tracker/theft protection crap (working with that company now to get it removed).  So my total deal was Supplier Price less $3500 rebates ($3000 customer cash and $500 for GM Financial financing) + $250.  I gave in on the $250 because I wanted the truck, and wasn’t sure when I’d be able to find another I wanted at a similar deal.

I would've paid $250 no problem.  They didn't want to budge at all so I left.  One place I went wanted $3k add-ons and even less value, except 2 extra oil changes, so I offered $500 since the oil changes were worth a little.  They said no also.  They had that truck for a month and i guess don't want to sell it.  IDK.  Glad they didn't now since I've changed my mind and am getting the 2500HD instead.  But still, it's crazy to me they don't want a bird in the hand, they'd rather try for 2 in the bush.  I thought about messaging the owner to let him know they are actively turning away sales for $84k trucks.  guaranteed $10k profit or so.  Or a complaint to General Motors about all the nonsense trying to buy a truck.  Not sure it would matter.  It's definitely a reason companies are looking to go factory direct like Tesla.  The customer buying experience is just abysmal.  I appreciate your help though.  I'll keep looking, guess I'll go outside of Houston area and see what I can find.

IMO for what its worth the hard stand dealers we see today will be withered down or completely gone in the next 10-15 years.  I dont need a typical dealer to buy the car, and GM or whomever can qualify as many shops out there to work on their stuff much like AAA does for towing.  Dealers are the biggest wholesaler scam going.  Factories can probably get easier sales,  cut out the 2-5k a dealer takes off the top and pass that savings on,  and then the consumer can pay anybody to work on their stuff not a dealer that charged over 100 bucks an hour for labor.

Yeah, I messaged GMC (probably a robo account) as much.  Think I found a dealer outside of Texas that wants to deal.  Have to wait for it to be built and delivered, but I guess we will see how it goes.

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      I just purchased a 2004 Tahoe with 148,******. I used to have a 2006 Suburban that had the push button Auto 4X, 2Hi, 4Hi and 4Lo. When checking out this truck I noticed it had push button but didn’t focus on it. After the purchase when driving home, this is when I noticed it was different and after a little research found out it has the AWD stabilitrak system. I don’t live in an area that requires AWD. I bought the truck to start a new adventure in life with off roading, now that the kids are all grown up. I purchased the truck knowing it didn’t have the G80 rearend but plan on re-gearing to drive on 33s or 35s and upgrade with a rear locker and still be able to tow when needed. Blah Blah Blah Anyway I know am thinking about converting the stabilitrak  to Z71. I know I will have to replace the transfer case. So now the information gathering stage is happening to see if it is worth it. Is the front AWD stabilitrak differential different when compared to a non-AWD front diff? Will I need a completely different front differential or can it be converted? What else should I be considering? I did see something in a video for GMT900 platform with removing the ABS fuse that disables the stabilitrak and turns the truck into a 2 wheel drive. Would that work in the GMT800 platform?
